At around 10:45 a.m. on Friday, Prime Minister Modi will begin his Karnataka visit by participating in Golden Jubilee celebrations of Prashanti Kutiram, the residential headquarters campus of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA), according to a press statement released on Thursday. He will also address a large gathering on the occasion. Later at around 12:45 p.m., the Prime Minister will flag off and undertake a metro ride from Tavarekere to IIM Bangalore Metro station. At around 1:15 p.m., Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone, inaugurate and dedicate to the nation various development projects worth more than Rs 15,600 crore in Bengaluru. On this occasion, he will lay the foundation stone of the Golden Jubilee Administrative Block and launch the S-VYASA Off-Campus at Kerala's state capital Thiruvananthapuram. He will also address a large gathering on the occasion. Thereafter, Prime Minister will travel to Mysuru where, at around 3:30 p.m., the Prime Minister will inaugurate COSMOS-Mysuru Planetarium as well as address the gathering on the occasion. Being held from November 13 to 23 on the theme 'Towards Viksit Bharat 2047', the Golden Jubilee celebration marks five decades of institution-building and service. Established in 1975, Prashanti Kutiram was founded with the objective of integrating modern science with India's spiritual wisdom. It is home to S-VYASA, which was declared a Deemed-to-be University in 2002 and is dedicated to education and research in Yoga. The programme will also commemorate the birth centenary of Hongasandra Venkataramaiah Sheshadri Ji, a distinguished thinker, writer and organiser born in Bengaluru in 1926. He joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1946 and served as its Sarkaryavah (General Secretary) from 1987 to 2000. He was among the visionaries behind S-VYASA and his inspiration and guidance played an important role in shaping the growth of Prashanti Kutiram and advancing the institution's mission over the decades. The Prime Minister will inaugurate, dedicate to the nation, lay the foundation stone and flag off various development projects worth over Rs 15,600 crore in Bengaluru. These projects span key sectors including urban mobility, power transmission, renewable energy, petroleum infrastructure, waste management and railways. On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi will perform Darshan and Pooja at Ambaji temple in Gujarat's Banaskantha. Ambaji Temple is one of the 51 revered Shakti Peethas. He will inaugurate Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere, developed at a cost of around Rs 3,470 crore. The new stretch will enhance urban connectivity, ease daily commuting, reduce travel time and strengthen public transport facilities in Bengaluru. The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Transmission Scheme for Integration of Renewable Energy Zones (Phase-II) in Koppal-II and Gadag-II, developed at an investment of around Rs 4,450 crore. The transmission system will facilitate the evacuation of around 2 GW of renewable energy potential from the Koppal and Gadag regions of Karnataka for onward transmission and distribution to beneficiaries across the grid. PM Modi will also inaugurate the Transmission Scheme for the Solar Energy Zone in Bidar, developed at an investment of around Rs 1,370 crore. The project involves the establishment of a Bidar Pooling Station and will facilitate the evacuation of 2.5 GW of solar power from the region. The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of the Transmission Scheme for Integration of Davanagere/Chitradurga and Ballari Renewable Energy Zones, at an investment of more than Rs 3,450 crore. He will also lay the foundation stone of the Transmission System Strengthening project for Integration of Additional Renewable Energy Potential at Davanagere and Ballari, at an investment of more than Rs 1,100 crore. Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation India's largest underground LPG storage cavern in Mangaluru, constructed at a cost of more than Rs 850 crore. With a storage capacity of 80,000 metric tonnes, the facility will significantly strengthen India's LPG storage infrastructure. The project also includes a 9.4 km LPG pipeline connecting New Mangalore Port to the main terminal, facilitating efficient transportation and storage of LPG. The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation the Devangonthi Marketing Terminal of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) in Bengaluru. Built at an investment of Rs 330 crore, the state-of-the-art facility will strengthen petroleum product storage and distribution infrastructure in Karnataka. He will lay the foundation stone of GAIL's Compressed Biogas Plant at Haralakunte in Bengaluru. The plant will process around 300 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily to produce 12.6 tonnes of clean Compressed Biogas (CBG). The project will promote scientific waste management, reduce dependence on conventional fuels and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. The Prime Minister will inaugurate four redeveloped railway stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme -- Chamarajanagar, Chikkamagaluru, Sakleshpur and Subrahmanya Road. The redeveloped stations will offer improved passenger amenities and serve as city centres, promoting local commercial activities and tourism in the region. Prime Minister Modi will dedicate to the nation the 45 km Bagalkot-Wandal railway line doubling section, forming part of the 284 km Gadag-Hotgi Doubling Project. The section will improve passenger and freight movement, support local trade and facilitate coal supply to the Kudgi NTPC plant. He will also dedicate to the nation the electrification of the 55-km Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya Road Ghat railway section. Passing through one of India's most challenging railway terrains, the project marks a significant engineering achievement. With its completion, the entire Bengaluru-Mangaluru rail route is now fully electrified. The Prime Minister will flag off the Bengaluru-Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express, providing faster and modern rail connectivity between Bengaluru, Coastal Karnataka and Goa. The service will connect key destinations including Hassan, Sakleshpur, Mangaluru, Udupi, Murdeshwar, Gokarna and Karwar before reaching Madgaon, benefiting passengers and boosting tourism in the region. He will inaugurate the COSMOS-Mysuru Planetarium, marking a significant advancement in planetarium technology and astronomy education in the country. Built by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), COSMOS-Mysuru is the first LED Dome planetarium in India. Envisaged as an astronomy education and training centre, it is located on the campus of the University of Mysore at the foothills of Chamundi Hills. The state-of-the-art facility features a 15-metre tilted dome comprising around 6,150 panels with 4.2 crore individual LEDs. Unlike conventional planetariums that use projectors to display images on a passive dome, its LED panels can be controlled in real time, offering an immersive visual experience and new possibilities for astronomy education. The Sky Theatre will showcase professionally produced astronomy programmes, along with an in-house film exploring the connection between the history of Mysuru and astronomy. The shows will be available in Kannada, English and Hindi. The centre will also house exhibition halls, a museum featuring astronomy models and artefacts, a lecture hall, a training centre and interactive outdoor exhibits. The centre's activities will complement the Indian Institute of Astrophysics' research, operation of multi-wavelength telescope facilities across India and in space, development of future astronomical facilities and national-level outreach programmes.

Reservation Hike: Shivakumar To Write To PM For Inclusion In Ninth Schedule
There is no point in blaming those who handled the issue earlier. Tamil Nadu has 69 per cent reservation: Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 12 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said on Thursday that the state government will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the inclusion of the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, while expressing confidence that the state would secure relief from the Supreme Court. Speaking after chairing a meeting of the State Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Development Council on the 2026-27 action plan for Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan (SCSP/TSP) programmes, Shivakumar added that the state had already filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the High Court judgment on enhanced reservation. We will write to the Prime Minister regarding the inclusion of the decision to enhance reservation for SCs and STs in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. If it is possible to meet the Prime Minister, we will also discuss the matter with him, he said. Shivakumar said the state Cabinet had decided to challenge the High Court judgment and the state's petition had been admitted by the Supreme Court. Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara, Minister K.H. Muniyappa and Minister Satish Jarkiholi have been entrusted with monitoring the case and deciding the legal strategy on behalf of the state. Chief Minister Shivakumar added that Karnataka was seeking only a six per cent increase beyond the 50 per cent reservation ceiling, noting that Tamil Nadu already has 69 per cent reservation. The state government had also addressed the issue of internal reservation, he said. The Chief Minister announced that a Vision Group would be constituted to recommend new welfare programmes for SC and ST communities. A Cabinet sub-committee led by Deputy CM Parameshwara has also been formed to review the implementation of programmes promised by the state government. Shivakumar said the state government had decided to conduct a social audit through reputed institutions to assess the impact of funds spent under the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan over the years. For 2025-26 and the current financial year, Rs 42,503 crore and Rs 44,631 crore, respectively, have been allocated under SCSP/TSP programmes covering 451 schemes across 34 departments, he added. The state government will also form a team of ministers and SC/ST legislators to review the allocation and suggest possible changes after holding detailed discussions with the Finance Department. On central assistance, the Chief Minister said Karnataka would write to the Union government seeking the release of Rs 1,937 crore pending under Centrally sponsored schemes for 2025-26. Of the total Rs 10,011 crore allocated under such schemes, the Centre's share was Rs 3,497 crore and the state's share Rs 6,514 crore. However, only Rs 1,560 crore of the Central share has been released. Shivakumar added that he had directed Finance Department officials to release the state's share even if the pending Central funds were not received, as delays were affecting the implementation of several welfare schemes. The meeting also stressed transparency in the use of SCSP/TSP funds. The Chief Minister directed officials to ensure equitable allocation among all SC and ST communities and make beneficiary details, including photographs, available online. He said that photographs and videos of beneficiaries should be maintained to prevent misuse of funds. Shivakumar also added that funds earmarked under SCSP and TSP should not be used for office expenses. According to the state government, Rs 39,661.99 crore was released under SCSP and TSP during 2025-26, of which Rs 39,557.43 crore was spent, recording 99.74 per cent utilisation. The Chief Minister also said the state government would take steps to fill the remaining backlog vacancies in government services and improve school uniforms and hostel facilities from next year. He also announced plans to hold separate consultations with leaders from minority, Vokkaliga, Lingayat and backward communities before the upcoming Legislative session.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 12 (IANS) Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President B.Y. Vijayendra on Thursday criticised Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Ministers Krishna Byre Gowda and Priyank Kharge for making what he termed 'disrespectful remarks' against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of his visit to the state on Friday. Addressing a media conference at the state BJP headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, Vijayendra said that he was both angry and disappointed by the statements made by the Chief Minister and the two Ministers. Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to participate in various programmes in Bengaluru and Mysuru on Friday. Referring to Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda's post on social media platform X alleging that his speech had been removed from the programme for the Metro inauguration as punishment for seeking Karnataka's rightful share, Vijayendra termed the claim 'baseless' and 'far from the truth'. Krishna Byre Gowda may be the Bengaluru Development Minister. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Bengaluru to inaugurate the Yellow Line during Siddaramaiah's earlier tenure as Chief Minister, the then Bengaluru Development Minister D.K. Shivakumar was not given an opportunity to speak. Siddaramaiah delivered the address. Therefore, the claim that Krishna Byre Gowda's speech was removed because he raised questions about Bengaluru's development is far from the truth, the State BJP President said. Vijayendra challenged Krishna Byre Gowda to disclose how much money the state government had spent on Bengaluru's development over the past three-and-a-half years. You say that nobody can stop you from working for Bengaluru's development. What development have you undertaken in Bengaluru over the last three-and-a-half years? Reveal how many thousand crores you have allocated for the city's development. Also, tell us how many potholes you have filled, the BJP leader demanded from the state government. Questioning the Minister's remarks on the rising cost of infrastructure projects, Vijayendra asked whether he was aware of the escalation in the estimated cost of the Upper Krishna Project (UKP). Krishna Byre Gowda had reportedly said that delays in obtaining project approvals were increasing costs and placing an 86 per cent financial burden on the state government. Krishna Byre Gowda speaks about the increase in the cost of the Metro project. When was the UKP, which is intended to provide irrigation water to farmers in Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Yadgir and Raichur districts of North Karnataka, approved? What was its original estimated cost? Are you aware that it has now crossed Rs 1 lakh crore? Go and ask your Chief Minister about this, Vijayendra said. He accused the Congress government of attempting to insult the Prime Minister and said PM Modi had been providing the state with the funds it required, while the state's own leaders were responsible for the alleged injustice. Taking on Priyank Kharge over his remarks about PM Modi's visit to Karnataka and the BJP's social media campaign, Vijayendra questioned the state government's handling of law and order. He referred to the alleged rape of a 12-year-old Scheduled Tribe girl in Mundgod and questioned the state Home Minister Kharge's response to the incident. A 12-year-old Scheduled Tribe girl has been raped in Mundgod. Despite such an incident, what is the Home Minister (Priyank Kharge) doing? Just because he has a tongue, does he think he can say anything? He has no understanding of the law-and-order situation. His only job seems to be criticising Prime Minister Modi, Vijayendra alleged. He urged the Chief Minister Shivakumar and the Home Minister Kharge to refrain from making irresponsible remarks about the Prime Minister and instead show him due respect. On the state government's proposal to provide military training to members of minority communities, Vijayendra alleged that the Congress government was creating divisions between Muslims and Hindus by treating minorities, particularly Muslims, differently. We are not against minorities. The Congress is systematically leading Muslims in the wrong direction by creating divisions between them and Hindus. This will benefit nobody, he said. Vijayendra also accused Congress workers of removing BJP flex banners ahead of the Prime Minister's visit and alleged that they were indulging in hooliganism. He said that PM Modi would participate in the golden jubilee celebrations of Prashanti Kutiram, which was not a government programme, before flagging off the Metro service and leaving for Delhi on Thursday afternoon. We are not bringing people to PM Modi's programme. People themselves will gather at several places. Thousands will come to see him (PM Modi). Congress leaders have removed BJP flex banners and are indulging in hooliganism. It is in their nature, Vijayendra alleged. BJP leaders and workers are expected to participate in the Prime Minister's programmes during his visit to the state.
